Salvatore served during WWII in the army in Italy and Africa. He worked and retired as union carpenter for local 1050. He spent most of his life living in a row home with Helen in South Philly. One of his passions was playing poker and let's not forget eating Italian food. The only thing you couldn't call him was late for dinner.

We all have fond memories of Sammy. Please relish in them as he has had a long and full life. Rest in peace Dad.
